have made in that direction will
turn out as was predicted by the
republicans prior to and during
the campaign. Prof. Langston
has. made the institution more
than what it has ever been.
Editor Mitchell, of the Rich
mond Planet, was in the city Tues
day, and in conversation with him
be said, that the colored voters OF
the state, democrats and republi-
cans, will protest against the re-
moval of Mr.. Langston. Editor
Mitchell no doubt speaks the SEN
timent Of the colored voters of
the state, and we are Of the opin-
ion that the democratic Legislature
cannot afford to remove an edu-
Gated colored gentleman and ap
point an ignorant white demo
crat at the head of the school.
Governor Lee, should veto any
bill passed by the Legislature look
ing to the removal of Mr.. Lang
ston. The defeat of Mr..
VIM. MALONE
in the state of Virginia. has no
doubt convinced him that he can
not afford to throw such men as
Gen'l Brady, Cameron and others
overheard. He must also under
stand that bossism in this coun-
try is about at an end. Mahone's
autocratic ruling has caused the
state to be lost to the republicans
three times. 1t is about time
now to retire MIR. Malone from
the republican party in the state,
unless be feels like falling in as a
high private in the ranks of re-
publican leaders. We under
stand that Malone is endeavoring
to establish white mans party
in the state. 1t looks that way.
Malone looks more after his indi-
vidual interest than he does after
the interest of the state. He is
ambitious and he doesn't fail to
telegraph his success throughout
the North as Mahone's victory.
Such men are detrimental to any
party. Malone is opposed to
Prot. Langston because Prof.
Langston will not allow him to
dictate 20 him. Prof. Langston
is not a man of that kind. He
cares no more for a white man
than a white man cares for him:
he is man who demands respect,
and if the colored people want a
representative in congress, let
them SEND John Mercer Langston.
Mr.. Brooks gave them all to
understand that the colored peo-
pie did not intend to tolerate or
any such treatment by the Com
missioners, nor the board of
school trustees.

Fred. Douglass is trying to

have to close all the school houses

A MASS MEETING OF COL.
ORED CITIZENS.
THEY PROTEST AGAINST COLOR PRE-.
JUDGE. PARENTS REQUESTED NOT
TO SEND THEIR CHILDREN To-MARY
HALLS. MR.. DOUGLASS.

A meeting OF cOl0red citizens
was held last Monday evening at
Israel NJ. E. Church, Ist and B SITS.
southwest, to protest against the
using of the house at the northwest
corner of Maryland avenue and Al
sts., known as Mary Halls for a
colored industrial school. The at
tendance, which numbered about
200, included representative color
ed men from every section of the
city. Mr.. E. S. Atkinson was call
ed upon to preside and J. D. Balti-
mnre was elected secretary. Rev.
R. S. Williams opened the pro-
ceedings with prayer. The chairman
referring to the small attendance,
explained it by saying that in sew
eral churches the people were so
engaged that they could not come.
They however, would not falter,
for their cause they believed was
just. They were satisfied that the
colored people of the District we're
opposed to the renting of the house
in question. The white schools,
he said, have good surroundings,
but they want to put colored
school in an undesirable neighbor-
hood to aid missionary work. If it
desired to elavate the neighbor-
hood, it should be done by mission,
ary work and not by the school
money. The colored people do not
want their children exposed to such
immoral influences as are to be
found about Maryland avenue and
] street. Rev. r. 81. Williams,
Noble Snowden, Rev. w. 81. Drap-
er, Alfred Stevens, J. c. Hart,
Frederick Douglass and J. II.
Brooks were appointed a commit
tee on resolutions.
WHY THEY OBJECT,
During the absence of the CON-
mittee Rev. Mr.. Scott made an ad-
dress. saying that no man with
respect for himself was willing to
send his child to a building with
such a history.
Rev. r. S. Laws said it was the
duty of the colored trustees in the
school board to protect the interest
of their race, and if they did not
they should be held responsible.
The white people, he said, would
not send their children to such a
place as proposed. "Let colored
citizens" he said, "demand prop
er place, and let the Commissions

MR.. DOUGLASS POSITION.

In Justice to the Hon. Frederick
Douglass, to correct an erron
cons impression which has gone
forth, we think true statement
should be made of his position
in relation to the action of the
Commissioners la selecting the
building on 41 st., as a location
for an industrial school for COL
ored children. At the indigna-
tim meeting held at Israel G. NJ.
E. Church, Mr.. Douglass said,
There was very strong feeling
that the commissioners, in propos-
ing to establish q school at the
corner of Al street, have acted in
obedience to a sentiment and feel
ing OF prejudice against the col
ored race. He protested against
any prejudice against race or col
or operating, and had no apology
to offer In defence of their action.
The government had inscribed
over the gateway of it's constitu-
tion that there should be no dis
criminstion between the citizens
of the United States on the ground
of race, color, or previous condit-
ion of servitude, and the COM
mlssioners were bound to act in
harmony with the constitution.
The denunciation of their action,
as shown by the meeting, showed
the colored people were cuItivst-
ing manly sentiments. So far be
was in full sympathy with the
object to be attained. On the
otner hand, it was possible for a
man to walk on the same street
with an infamous character, and
yet be as far apart as the poles.
Jesus himself was often found in
disreputable places, and among
sinners. He believed the senti-
ments expressed should not hurt
the honeseand sincere efforts to
benefit fellow citizens, now bein e
made in that locality"
In addition to the above, it is
but inst TO state that the building
at the corner of A. st., has been
purchased, and is The property of
the "Minor School Fund; that it
was, and is the intention of the
trustees of that fund, to open an
industrial school in their building,
and to do all in their power to
elevate and instruct the children,
not only of that immediate vicini-
ty, but throughout the city; and
while Mr.. Douglass condemned
the action of the commissioners in
trying to force this particular
building upon the people, against
their earnest protest, he was par
ticularly anxious that nothing
should be said or done at the
meeting that would counteract or
injure the missionary work con-
tempiated by the trustees of the
Miner School Fund, in that To-
eality.

WICHITA, Kas., Dec. 17.-Col. l.. G.
Cole, one OF the acknowledged leaders Of
the Oklahoma boom in the past, has just
returned from that country, accompanied
by several colleagues. His trip, which
lasted nearly four weeks, was made in the
interest OF the present movement. He is
very reticent about giving information
concerning the new crusade" as it is
called, but admitted that before long an
other great effort will be made to occupy
the coveted country. Cole says that the
former failure was due 10 information that
was spead abroad concerning their move
ments, adding that IL will be in the future
their policy to act more and speak less.
Capt. Couch, who is now president OF the
organization, stated that they are becom-
ing thoroughly organized, there being n
club for the furthcrance OF tho object OF
the movement in almost every county in
Kansas, also many in Missouri and Texas.
Concerning tho time for the march to be
taken up, he refused TO give any definite
information, but il is inferred that il will
be near April. lie says the organization
is more powerful than ever before, and
that this winter every effort will be made
10 prevail upon Congress TO open up the
country, but should it refuse 10 do this
there is no doubt but that trouble will en-

several miles. lie was pursued, but n
strong gale was blowing at the time and
darkness coming on he reached the
